RE: The Charms of Secondhand Finds: Building My Book Collection

It’s like you were there. I almost want to write more about it. One minute I’m almost alone in the entire store. The next minute, a mob manifests behind me all interested in the non-fiction end of the book. My secret move is to walk away like I’m satisfied or frustrated, depending on how much I want to act that day, and I just wrap around 1-2 aisles until I’m back with the best stuff in the house: the books. Thrifting feels good because you don’t overspend and like you said, you prioritize real needs. If only I’d do that when grocery shopping, I’d be alright!!
